Bela Lugosi ain't dead yet

Seminal goth-rockers Bauhaus are back, creating a buzz at SoCal's recent Coachella music festival. Singer Peter Murphy opened the band's set by hanging upside down, bat-style, in a rendition of "Bela Lugosi's Dead."

Other acts of note included Nine Inch Nails, Arcade Fire and New Order. The Cocteau Twins reunion failed to materialize, however.

Personal trivia: My first date included seeing "The Hunger," with the opening scene of Bauhaus doing "Bela." I shoulda known that was gonna be a weird relationship -- beware the vampire girl!
